Job offer in Malaysia - legit or scam?
Hey everyone, I received a job proposal from Mindgraph for a Junior Mainframe Developer position in Malaysia (onsite). Not sure if it's a real deal. They found my resume on Naukri and the offer includes: * Experience: 3+ years on cardlink, VSAM, CICS, JCL * Location: Malaysia (Accenture client in Kuala Lumpur) * Notice: 0-60 days * Benefits: One-way ticket, 1-week stay, medical insurance, visa. Has anyone heard of Mindgraph or had a similar experience? Note : This is a permanent position with Mindgragh and you need to work with our client Accenture - Malaysia (Kaula Lumpur) & we will provide one way Air Ticket from India - Malaysia, 1 Week Accommodation, Medical Insurance and will take care of the Visa process also. Any insights would be appreciated!

Nothing, meets zero expectations. Made work like hell even during my maternity journey 24 hrs and with pretty worst monetary benefit. There was no work life balance and also I was forced to resign with no other option saying you cannot continue with your old role or team a month back when I was just about to join after ML.
